    ..more specifically, the Gay Byrne radio show. The most vile, cringe inducing shite imaginable.

    Irish people, especially people who have never left the country or their county, love thinking that we're the most unscrupulous and untrustworthy nation on the planet. Such naivety.

    Bought a beautiful Georgian country mansion and turned it into a car park for his hatchback collection.

    The Chancery Inn next to the Four Courts is good for the ould early pints the odd time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,833 ✭✭✭CFlat


    Off the list above, has to be Sean Quinn.

    I watched a doc about him during the Celtic Tiger, I think the presenter was Craig Doyle and Sean Quinn talked about playing poker with his buddies and he said that the maximum bet they would make on any game was 50 pence.

    In and around that time Sean Quinn and his family took a gamble on share prices in Anglo Irish Bank in through a mechanism called Contracts for Difference to to the tune of 2.5 Billion euros.

    None of the rest of those mentioned in that list are even close to the chancer that Sean Quinn was.


    Gay Byrne? A chancer? I don't get that.

    Eddie Hobbs for me. I was only in college during the height of boom but even then I remember thinking there was something off about talking to people in their 20's like they were dirt on television because they lived at home and basically shamed them into buying a house they couldn't afford.

    Basically recorded then broadcast the absolute worst aspect of the Celtic tiger and I wish he had been called out on it
